Envision an asexual society, where people are born only through artificial means.
Do you think this would be a better society to live in or not? Why so?
Aren't we headed that way, anyway? What with humanity's probably having to cope in the future with overpopulation and moreso even if we manage to engine our own biological make-up so as to resist ageing, disease and death by natural causes?
Sex is only pleasurable for one reason: the need for reproduction. With that out of the way, do you honestly think in a few million years(or just years, really, depending on how rational this society might be) we will still feel the need to have sex?
Don't be shy, people, I'm not just making up random questions, despite appearances. Anyway, I felt like all this was obvious without me having to point it out, but then again, it seems not - whaddayaknow?

Uhhhh... you must be doing it wrong.
